A method to Daddy's madness....







I am sure you have noticed, if you are even still reading my blog that I have not been very good at posting lately. So many priorities, so little time. But I do have a funny story to share about Jeff's very alternative parenting style.




Cooper has a very definite crabby time and it is evenings from about 4-6pm, which is miserable for poor Jeff, he comes home from work and is greeted by a screaming baby. And I usually need a break by then, even if it is only a 10 minute shower break, I need some time off from our little guy. So Jeff is tasked with trying to figure out what on earth could be bothering Cooper and then trying to satisfy him. Last week, Cooper was beyond upset and after both of us trying for more than an hour to settle him down, I had to pump, so Jeff was on his own. As I finished up and turned off the pump, I could hear some super loud music coming from the bedroom upstairs where Jeff and Cooper were camped out. I was a little worried as I approached thinking that Jeff had left a crying Cooper in the crib and had locked himself in the bathroom and blasted his new Matchbox 20 CD. Oh no....I opened the door and discovered Jeff playing air guitar on Cooper's belly as Cooper was completely asleep/out cold. Interesting method, I would have never tried it, but it worked. Cooper seems to really enjoy loud music.




I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and I promise to try to post more regularly!
